The Commission's role

Monday 8 July, 2013

Asylum seekers, refugees and people in immigration detention

Over the last decade the Commission has worked to promote and protect the human rights of asylum seekers, refugees, and people in immigration detention. This work has included:

Rights and freedoms - right by right

Illustration of raised hands, a flying dove with an olive branch, and the quote All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Additional text about acting in a spirit of brotherhood appears below.

 

As part of the development of our new website we are developing pages on human rights scrutiny by reference to each area of rights and obligations set out in the main human rights treaties which have been developed by the international community and adopted by Australia in the years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed in 1948.
